One thing I can probably handle well is "organized chaos"...hehehehe.
In this case, my itchiness for a more decent HT and this newfound, more like, reawakened longing for "a little better than average" audio set -up. All these without costing me an arm and a leg? Sana naman po. I guess it boils down to how long I'm willing to wait and a good plan to at least get to a certain point within a given time. In short, structured spending. hehehe. Hay, i feel better already.
I do enjoy both the HT and "audio end" of this passion of ours. What Sir Mark mentioned about the satisfaction of watching DVD concerts is something I can relate to. I do love the "live" performances. At the same time, there were also moments when I just want to close my eyes and "just listen". Kaya nga madaling nakulam...that is, to make a decision to jump in the "tube flavor path" bandwagon.
So, here's my quick reference plan (for myself): Feel free to suggest the better route.
1) Done with my flat panel to initiate transition to HD last July. Got the bd30 and dv400. oks na yun.
2) Just got the Egreat. Happy na to start my free HD movies. Will take advantage of bandwidth at the office. Hehehe. Will just build HD collection.
3) Would like sana to change my amp..but after the blind test, trueHD not a priority at the moment. So HK AVR8500 will remain. So will the HT speakers.
4) Decided to get the HD projector na lang after I transfer my HT room (next year)...not ideal for my current viewing distance of less than 10 feet. The 46" flat panel will suffice. The screen will be removed...
5) Get a decent stand for current set up...46" and gears. (buy Oct)
6) Tube amp...(buy Oct)...use extra Infinity speakers para lang tumunog...hehehe.
7) Speakers...(to be determined to match #6) -(buy Nov)
Cd player to match (6 and 7) - (Dec) Meron pa kasi HK HDCD.
9) Rest muna ako sa Pasko at madaming inaanak.
Next year na yung iba...
Ayan. Already laid out para sa mga mangkus.
